Malco TurboShear®
The TurboShear® transforms your power drill into a powerful cutting tool, enabling you to make fast and precise cuts in sheet metal, siding, and more.

Why it saves time: Consistent, professional cuts mean less rework and quicker duct fabrication.
Malco TurboCrimper® Impact
The TurboCrimper® Impact takes crimping to the next level. Powered by your cordless drill or impact driver, this tool crimps faster and with less strain compared to manual crimpers. It consistently produces factory-quality crimp!
Why it saves time: Up to 78% faster than hand crimpers, with consistent results that eliminate costly do-overs.
Malco Adjustable Siding Gauge
Installing siding solo? The Adjustable Siding Gauge acts like a second set of hands, holding siding panels in place while you secure them. It reduces measuring time and ensures accurate alignment for a clean, professional finish.
Why it saves time: Allows one person to install siding more efficiently without constantly readjusting.
Malco’s Power-Assisted Seamer
When working with standing seam metal roofing, speed and consistency are game-changers—and Malco’s Power-Assisted Seamer delivers both. The FSXS and FSXS2 models are the fastest seaming machines on the market, offering effortless operation by simply attaching the tool to a cordless drill. They’re designed to mechanically lock 1″, 1.5″, or 2″ standing seam panels (depending on the model) in single or double mechanical locks, completing seams in a single, efficient pass.
Why it saves time: Powered by your drill, this tool dramatically speeds up seaming while ensuring consistent results and reducing installer fatigue—perfect for large runs or tight project timelines.
Time is money, and having the right tools in your arsenal can make all the difference on the job site.
